14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service is required when the apparatus is damaged in any way,  
such as power-supply cord or plug damage, liquid spilled on or objects falling onto apparatus, rain or moisture  
exposure, abnormal operation, or if the apparatus has been dropped.  
15. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides infor-  
mation with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

1 Connections and Setup  
Things to Consider Before You Connect  
Protect Against Power Surges  
• Connect all devices before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.  
NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.  
• Turn off the TV and/or device(s) before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety  
Instructions.  
Instructions at the beginning of the User's Guide  
• Protect devices from overheating.  
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the devices. Arrange the devices so that air can  
circulate freely.  
• Don’t stack devices.  
• If you place devices in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.  
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air  
from it won’t flow around other devices.  
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference  
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
• If you place devices above the TV, route all cables down one side of the back of the TV  
instead of straight down the middle.  
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin  
lead cables away from audio/video cables.  
Use Indirect Light  
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft  
or indirect lighting.  
Check Supplied Parts  
Check that the following parts were packed with your product.  
Note: If you need  
to replace your remote,  
call 1-800-338-0376.  
A shipping and  
handling fee, and the  
appropriate sales  
tax, will be charged  
upon ordering.

Mounting TV to Wall  
To mount your TV to the wall you need to purchase a VESA wall mount  
Models L26HD31/L26HD31S  
Models L32HD31/L32HD36  
Purchase a VESA 100 x100, Size M4 screw  
Caution: Your wall mount  
must bear a minimum of  
five times the TV’s net  
weight without causing  
damage.  
Purchase a VESA 200 x100, Size M4 screw  
Model L40HD36  
Purchase a VESA 600 x400, Size M6 screw  
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example,  
600x400 means the mounting measurements are 600mm horizontally and 400mm vertically.  
Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.

Get the Picture  
The first part of connecting your TV is to get the picture, also known as the signal. The back  
panel of your TV allows you to receive analog and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/  
CABLE INPUT.  
Getting Channels  
What You Need  
Antenna ("rabbit ears") or outdoor antenna with coaxial cable  
OR  
Coaxial cable with cable service  
A. Do you have an indoor or outdoor antenna? If not, go to step B. If so, plug the antenna or  
coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT to receive free off-air  
local digital and analog channels.  
B. Do you have cable? If so, plug the coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the ANTENNA/  
CABLE INPUT to receive your cable channels.  
C. Do you have a set-top box? If so, you may need to call your cable company or satellite  
service provider. They may recommend special cables to allow you to view digital channels.  
What You Need To Know  
• Visit www.antennaweb.org for help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local  
digital channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you  
what local analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.  
• When you are ready to watch channels, the channel banner displays the type of channel  
you're viewing. Look for a D at the bottom of the screen for digital channels; look for an A for  
analog channels. Go to page 34 for more information.

Connecting a Device with HDMI (Best)  
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology is an uncompressed digital connec-  
tion that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since  
HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is  
also compatible with devices that have a DVI output jack.  
Using the example of a set-top box:  
If your set-top box has an HDMI jack, connect an HDMI cable. Connect an HDMI cable to  
the HDMI2/DVI INPUT jack or the HDMI1/DVI INPUT jack on the back of the TV and to the  
HDMI Out jack on the back of the device.  
-OR-  
If your set-top box has a DVI jack, connect an HDMI cable and an HDMI/DVI adapter:  
1. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI2/DVI INPUT jack or the HDMI1/DVI INPUT jack on  
the back of the TV .  
2. Attach an HDMI/DVI adapter to the end of the HDMI cable, then connect the adapter to  
the DVI Out jack on the set-top box.  
3. Since you’re using an HDMI/DVI adapter, you need to connect separate AUDIO cables to  
the DVI AUDIO right and left jacks on the back of the TV and to the R and L AUDIO jacks  
on the back of the device.

What To Expect  
Watching TV  
• Remember: Look for an A at the top of the screen to see if you're watching an analog  
channel.  
Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, or your TV can display these channels in a16/9 format  
by pressing the FORMAT button to view the different formats available. Go to page 39 for  
more explanation of screen formats.  
• Remember: Look for a D at the top of the screen to see if you're watching a digital channel.  
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but it is sometimes sent  
in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or source device is  
formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the FORMAT button to try a  
different format. This may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of  
the way the format is sent by the broadcaster. Go to page 39 for more explanation of screen  
formats.  
Changing Channels  
• Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and  
sub-channels. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, such as 10.1, enter the  
primary channel number (10), then press the right arrow button. Enter the sub-channel  
number (1) and press OK.  
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might notice  
that the channels change slower than you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable  
channels sometimes take longer to tune.

Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)  
This section describes the jacks on the back panel of your TV. There are several ways to  
connect devices.  
ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from your  
antenna, cable, or cable box.  
AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT 1 (VID1) Lets you connect a device that has composite video jacks,  
such as a VCR or DVD player.  
•
•
L AUDIO Provides left audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack. The left audio  
connectors are usually white. For mono audio sources be sure to use the Left AUDIO INPUT.  
R AUDIO Provides right audio connection when using the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack. The right  
audio connector is usually red.  
COMPONENT INPUT Lets you connect a device that has component VIDEO jacks, such as a  
DVD player.  
Y
VIDEO  
•
CMPT Y Pb Pr (Component Video) Provides good picture quality because the video is  
separated into three signals. Use three video-grade or component VIDEO cables for the  
connection. When using CMPT Y Pb Pr, make sure you connect left and right AUDIO cables  
to the CMPT L and R AUDIO jacks.  
Pb

•
HDMI/DVI INPUT (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual Interface) Provides  
an uncompressed digital connection that carries both video and audio data by way of an  
integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI),  
the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with DVI devices.  
Note: Remember to  
connect the left and  
right AUDIO cables  
because the DVI  
cable carries only the  
picture signal, not the  
sound.  
•
•
DVI AUDIO L (used for DVI only) Provides left audio connection when using the HDMI1 or  
HDMI2 jack for DVI. The left audio connector is usually white. For mono audio sources be  
sure to use the Left AUDIO INPUT.

or HDMI2 jack for DVI. The right audio connector is usually red.  
PC VIDEO INPUT Connect your computer, or other device with a VGA OUTPUT, to this jack  
using a 15 pin D-sub cable. Connect your computer, or other device with a VGA output, to this  
jack using a 15 pin D-sub cable.

Programming Remote  
The CANCEL button is used as visual feedback during the programming operation. During  
programming, the CANCEL button will light up when buttons are pressed and turn off when  
buttons are released. When programming is finished, the CANCEL button will long blink to  
indicate success and short blink to indicate fail.  
Note: All device buttons are off during programming mode.  
There are 3 ways to program the remote control to operate other devices: Direct Entry,  
Manual Code Search, and Automatic Code Search. If you have recently purchased the device  
you want to control or if the device has many codes, you might want to try the manual code  
search first.  
Using Direct Entry  
1. Turn on the device you want to control.  
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons  
(approximately 3 seconds) until the CANCEL button lights up. Then release the buttons.  
3. Press and release the device button (SAT/AUX or DVD) you want to program.

for DVD, 1 for Satellite TV, 2 for Cable, 3 for DVR, 4 for VCR, 5 for Audio, 6 for CD), the  
other 3 digits indicate the brand. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the device in  
the code list at the end of this section.  
5. The CANCEL button will long blink to indicate success. Repeat these steps until you’ve  
tested all codes for your device’s brand or try to run a manual code search.  
Using Manual Code Search  
Note: Before using manual code search, you must use Direct Entry first. This lets the  
remote know which type of device should begin searching codes. Then proceed with the  
following steps.

(approximately 3 seconds) until the CANCEL button lights up. Then release the buttons.  
3. Press and release the device button (SAT/AUX or DVD) you want to program.  
4. Repeatedly press and release the left arrow or right arrow button, watching for the device  
to respond. If it does turn off, press and release the OK button to save the code. The  
CANCEL button will long blink to indicate success.  
5. When all codes have been searched, the CANCEL button will short blink to indicate fail,  
then the remote returns to normal operation.  
Note: Use right arrow to search ahead, use left arrow to search back. Or you can press the ON/  
OFF button to switch to Auto Code Search mode.  
Using Automatic Code Search  
1. Turn on the device you want to control.  
2. On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE  
(approximately 3 seconds) buttons until the CANCEL button lights up. Then release the  
buttons.  
3. Press and release the device button you want to program.  
4. Press and release the ON•OFF button once. The remote starts the code search.  
5. Once the device turns off, quickly press the OK button to save the code. The CANCEL  
button will long blink to indicate success.  
6. When all codes have been searched, the CANCEL button will short blink to indicate fail,  
then the remote returns to normal operation.  
Note: If you accidentally passed the code before saving it, press the left arrow button to backtrack  
through the codes; then use the right arrow button to go forward through the codes again. Once  
the left arrow or right arrow button has been pressed, the search mode changes to Manual Code  
Search.

Parental Controls and V-Chip  
The choices in the US V-Chip and Canada V-Chip menus involve software inside your TV  
referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and movies. TV programs can  
be blocked by age-based ratings, such as TV-MA, which is explained on page 36. If  
available, TV programs can also be blocked by content, such as adult language (L). This is  
explained on page 37. Movies can only be blocked by age-based ratings. This is explained  
on page 37. Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.  
By default, the software inside your TV is turned off or unlocked. For instructions to lock  
V-Chip, see page 36.  
Note: Parental control  
settings are not  
available for HDMI1,  
HDMI2, CMPT or PC  
INPUTS. These  
settings must be set in  
the connected device's  
parental controls.  
How V-Chip Works for USA and Canada  
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence  
(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the  
program contains, you will receive the message This channel is blocked. Change channel or  
press OK to enter your password and temporarily deactivate the parental controls.  
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no con-  
tent themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out  
programs that have been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated.  
Go to page 48 for the US and Canada ratings explanations.

Screen Formats  
Screen format is the way the picture is displayed on your TV. Press the FORMAT buttons on  
your remote to see if a different format is available for the video you are viewing. The format  
changes as you press the FORMAT button and the format type is displayed at the bottom of  
the screen.  
Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays in a 16/9 format. Most digital  
video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but sometimes it is sent in 4/3 which  
does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is  
formatting the video. If there are bars on the screen, press the FORMAT buttons to try a  
different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way  
the format is sent by the broadcaster.  
The different formats available and what they look like follow. Each format is available for  
analog video, but it might not be available for digital video.

Film Mode (3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were originally recorded  
on film (like most movies) and subsequently converted to a different format (for TV broadcast,  
for example). Film mode processes the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to  
the original. Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.  
The On setting (recommended): place a check in the box, enables the feature only when the  
TV detects that movie playback quality could be improved.  
The Off setting (uncheck the box) turns off film mode upconversion. Try using this setting if  
you think the reverse 3:2 Pulldown is causing distortions in your picture.  
PC Settings Adjust the PC settings when in PC mode.  
Video Noise Reduction (not available on PC or digital channels) Reduces picture “static” or  
any type of interference. This feature is especially useful for providing a clearer picture in weak  
analog signal conditions. Press the right arrow to choose between: Low for a softer, smoother  
picture that retains picture sharpness and detail; Normal for a slightly softer picture than the  
Low setting; High for an even softer, smoother picture than the other settings (the picture  
detail is somewhat decreased).

reduction is available  
for the CMPT inputs  
only if the signal is

5 Other Information  
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  
What’s the quickest way to view High Definition (HD) video?  
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANTENNA/CABLE Input to view free local digital channels.  
You might need to purchase an antenna. Go to page 14 for more information.  
Visit www.antennaweb.org for help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local  
digital channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you  
which local analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.  
Are there other ways to view High Definition (HD) video?  
Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive  
digital video. Contact your cable company or satellite provider to purchase digital programming  
and have them connect the box for you to ensure you're viewing channels the best way.  
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?  
Press the INFO button to display the channel banner. Look at the bottom left corner of the  
screen. An A is displayed for an analog channel. A D is displayed for a digital channel.  
Why are there bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?  
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but is sometimes sent in  
4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to your  
TV is formatting the video. If there are bars on the screen, press the FORMAT button to try a  
different format that may eliminate the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the  
format is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes as you press the FORMAT button and the  
format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen. For more information on screen formats, go  
to page 39.  
Why does channel search find a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to  
them there’s nothing there?  
Some channels enabled by the cable company don’t carry programming, such as video on  
demand. When channels are unavailable, your TV’s screen is blank or appears like snow. You  
probably want to remove these channels from your channel list. Remove these in the Channel  
List menu. Go to page 38 for more information.  
Why does the first channel search take a long time?  
If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the  
channel list. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels,  
non-scrambled channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.

Troubleshooting  
Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.  
TV Problems  
TV won’t turn on  
•
•
•
Make sure the TV is plugged in.  
Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.  
The side panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the side panel controls  
by selecting the Button Block feature on the Parental Control menu and press OK to uncheck the box.  
No picture and no sound but TV is on  
• You might be tuned to an input with no device connected to it to view. If you're trying to view a connected  
device, press INPUT until the picture from that device appears.  
• The Signal Type option may be set incorrectly. Go to page 21 for detailed instructions.  
• The channel might be blank--change channels.  
• If you’re watching your VCR and it’s connected with coaxial cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE jack, tune the  
TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your VCR). Also make  
sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).  
Sound okay, picture poor  
• If you're getting a black and white picture from a device you've connected to your TV, you might have your  
video cables connected to the wrong jacks. A yellow Video cable connects to the yellow VIDEO INPUT jack  
on the side or back of your TV; three video cables or bundled component video cables (red, blue, and  
green) connect to the corresponding COMPONENT INPUT jacks on the back of your TV.  
• If you're getting no picture from a device you've connected to your TV, you might have your video cable  
connected to the VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the back of your TV. These jacks are used to connect recording  
devices. A yellow Video cable connects to the yellow VIDEO INPUT jack on the side or back of your TV.  
• Check antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.  
• Try adjusting the sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 40 for more instructions.  
No sound, picture okay  
• The sound might be muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.  
• If using DVI, S-Video, or Y, PB, PR, remember to also connect the device’s left and right AUDIO OUTPUT  
jacks to the TV’s L and R AUDIO INPUT jacks.  
• The sound settings may not be set correctly. Go to page 41 for more information.  
• If your audio source has only one jack or is a (mono) audio source, make sure you have plugged the  
connection into the Left AUDIO INPUT jack on the TV.  
Blank screen  
• Check your connections. If you used yellow, red, and white cables to connect, make sure they're  
connected to the yellow, red, and white VIDEO INPUT jacks on the side or back of the TV, not to the  
VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the back of the TV.  
• If you're trying to watch something that's playing on a device connected to the TV (like a DVD), press  
INPUT until you get to the correct video input channel.  
• Make sure the device connected to the TV is turned on.  
• Try another channel.

Buttons don’t work  
•
The side panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the side panel controls by  
selecting the Button Block feature in the Parental Control menu and press OK to uncheck the box.  
Unplug the TV for ten minutes and then plug it back in. Turn the TV on and try again.  
•
TV turns off unexpectedly  
•
•
Sleep timer may have been activated. Go to page 43 for instructions.  
Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then  
turn on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.  
Unplug. Wait ten minutes. Plug in again.  
•
Can’t select certain channel  
•
•
Channel may be blocked or not approved in the Parental Control menu.  
If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR  
button on your VCR).  
•
Press the TV button and then try to change channels.  
Noisy stereo reception  
May be a weak station. Use the Sound menu and Analog TV Sound to choose mono.  
Black box appears on screen  
Closed-captioning might be on. Check Closed Caption in the Setup menu. Go to page 42 for more instructions.  
Problems with HDMI Connection  
•
•
•
Make sure the HDMI or DVI device is turned on and the cables are firmly connected. If problems still occur,  
turn off your device. Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging  
it back in.  
If you are tuned to the HDMI 1, or HDMI 2 INPUT and you’re receiving Unusable Signal message onscreen,  
press the INFO button on the remote. If Acquiring Channel appears in the channel banner, the HDMI or DVI  
device isn’t responding. Contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI device for further assistance.  
If you tune to the HDMI 1, or HDMI 2 INPUT and you see snow, the video goes in and out, or the video  
takes a long time to appear, your HDMI or DVI device is having trouble sending video information to the TV.  
Re-connect your device. Reset the power by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in. If problems  
persist, try connecting the Y Pb Pr jacks if they are available or contact the manufacturer of the HDMI or DVI  
device for further assistance.  
•
•
If you have black bars on each side of your picture, the device you connected might have a switch or a  
menu option allowing you to change the picture quality output that will fix this. Choose either 720p or  
1080i.  
480i signals aren’t supported by the HDMI1 or HDMI2 INPUT.  
Remote Doesn’t Work  
•
Something might be between the remote and the remote light sensor on the front of the TV. Make sure  
there is a clear path.  
•
•
The remote may not be aimed directly at the TV.  
The batteries in the remote may be weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note,  
if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other devices.)

Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls  
Rating limits don’t work  
You must lock the settings. Go to the Main Menu (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Control,  
select Lock Parental Control.  
I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock TV  
If you forget your password, you can enter the factory default code: 4116.  
V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.  
Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must set NR to  
View Separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.  
What Else Can I Do?  
If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fixed your problem, try rebooting your  
TV. Note that after a reboot you may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To do a reboot,  
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, power strip, etc. Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes.  
Then plug in the TV, turn on the TV, and see if the problem is fixed. If the problem remains, then please click  
on the Customer Support Menu at www.rca.com/television for updated FAQs or contact RCA Customer  
Support at the support number provided in your Warranty under How To Get Service.

lieve and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence,  
or may frighten children under the age of 7.

Canadian English V-Chip Rating System  
18+ (Adult) Programming intended for adults 18 and older. It may contain elements of violence, language, and  
sexual content which could make it unsuitable for viewers under 18. Violence Guidelines: May contain violence  
integral to the development of the plot, character or theme, intended for adult audiences. Other Content  
Guidelines: May contain graphic language and explicit portrayals of nudity and/or sex.  
14+ (Viewer 14 and over) Programming contains themes or content which may not be suitable for viewers  
under the age of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting viewing by pre-teens  
and early teens. Violence Guidelines: May contain intense scenes of violence. Could deal with mature  
themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion. Other Content Guidelines: May contain scenes of nudity  
and/or sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profanity.

moderate; may include physical, fantasy, or supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines: May contain  
infrequent mild profanity, or mildly suggestive language. Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.

G (General Audience) Programming considered acceptable for all ages groups. While not designed specifi-  
cally for children, it is understood younger viewers may be part of the audience. Violence Guidelines: Will  
contain very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could  
frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the effects of  
violent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some inoffensive slang, no profanity and no nudity.  
C8+ (Children 8 and older) Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over to  
watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way  
to resolve conflict or encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any realistic  
depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts.  
Other Content Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.  
C (Children) Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines: Careful attention is paid to  
themes which could threaten children’s sense of security and well being. There will be no realistic scenes of  
violence. Depictions of aggressive behavior will be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary,  
comedic or unrealistic in nature. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language, nudity or sexual  
content.  
Canadian French V-Chip Rating System  
18+ (Adult) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent  
scenes.  
16+ (Viewer 16 and over) Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent  
scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.  
13+ (Viewer 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This program  
either contains several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in  
the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children under the age of 13.  
8+ (Viewer 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most audiences,  
but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult  
is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not distinguish between reality and  
imagination.  
G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or any  
violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an  
unrealistic way.

IMPORTANT: Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or  
abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV. The TV’s screen may be  
cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen.  
If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water. While cleaning do not  
spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the  
TV. Also, never place drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase  
the risk of fire, shock hazard or damage to the TV.
